Ron Jaworski spent 17 years playing quarterback in the NFL, most notably from his 10 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Since retirement, he’s worked in the media for various outlets. This week, Jaworski joined a Philadelphia radio station to discuss the Eagles’ opponent this week, the Washington Commanders, and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
He’s a huge fan of Daniels.
“I don’t want to overblow what I am going to say, but I will,” Jaworski told Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie on Tuesday’s 94WIP Morning Show via Andrew Porter of Audacy.
“He’s the best rookie quarterback I have ever seen. I’ve seen a lot of them. The guy has been absolutely phenomenal. His calmness, his ability to throw the ball deep, short, his anticipation. I look at his feet; he’s very calm in the pocket. He’s a guy that kind of plays with a smile on his face, he’s enjoying playing football. He seems to have rallied the Washington Commanders. He’s really been outstanding………It’s remarkable for a rookie; I’ve been just blown away.”
Jaworski joins the list of former players and coaches impressed with the 2024 NFL draft’s No. 2 overall pick. Daniels has led the Commanders to a 7-3 record, and they rank in the top five in most offensive stats, including scoring.
Jaworski’s Eagles host Daniels and Washington on Thursday night in the most-anticipated NFC game of the season.
